Im sure you all know about applying eyes with a dowel or nail head or other similar tool but I thought Id throw this out there and see if you all have any comments. I was told powder coat is a type of enamel that it is only applied differently. So I had the thought to bake it and see what happens. Heres what I did. First I applied my powdercoat paint to the jig heads as usual. Then after it dried I tool my nail head and applied my first eye layer with those little jar enamel paints used on models. After a hour or so with a fan on them I applied the pupil dot with the smaller nail head. I let it dry for a hour or so too so when they were swinging around while I carried them to the kitchen they didnt touch each other and get messed up. Lastly I baked them according to the manufactures directions for the powdercoat, I was amazed at how hard they came out also. One thing I may have done differently is I baked them at 250 for 25 minutes like they had a weed-guard on them because when I first started powdercoating I would have a drip on lots of them in certain colors. I was wondering if anyone else had tried doing this? You can buy the model paints at any hobby shop for about $2.00 each. Oh also I only used red, white and black and the white did get a little cream color but still looks great
